  • Wentworth Scholars Showcase

    Join the 2012 UNCW Wentworth Scholars as they present their travel posters at Randall Library.

    Katie Peel & Nicholas Laudadio, English Faculty and Wentworth Fellowship Advisors, explain the program:

    "The Wentworth Fellowship, a gift of Mr. Charles F. Green III, was established in 2001 to enable a select number of students to travel to sites, in America or abroad, associated with literary authors and texts.

    Each year, English majors and minors work with faculty sponsors to submit applications detailing journeys inspired by and connected with a specific text, author, or movement in an effort to explore the relationship of artistic production to geographic space. The Wentworth Scholars Showcase is the public poster presentation by returning fellows, and offers the fellows an opportunity to share their journeys. "

    2012 UNCW Wentworth Scholars will present their posters in the Sherman Hayes Gallery at Randall Library between 3 - 4:30 pm Wednesday, April 11th.  Posters will remain on display through Friday, April 13th.

  • North Carolina Living Treasures

    "You are not an artist simply because you paint or sculpt or make pots that cannot be used.  An artist is a poet in his or her own medium.  And when an artist produces a good piece, that work has mystery, an unsaid quality: it is alive."
    -Toshiko Takaezu, Cermic Artist

    Randall Library is proud to announce the Recipients of the
    2011 North Carolina Living Treasures' Award

    Glass Artists Mark Peiser and Richard Ritter will share the honor this year for their individual contributions to traditional craft in North Carolina.
